Default Track Results..

I couldn't get it to hook..traction was a problem earlier in the day. I would of had more runs, but it overheated after this run, I parked it and just chilled for the rest of the night.
I left the line at 1/4 throttle..

Let me put it in perspective..my LT1 setup ran a best of 10.50@100mph, 1.85 60'..
To break it down even further, I wasn't even in the Peak Horse Power Band for the Heads and Cam, just using the Torque at half-throttle..

What kind of tires you got? Suspension mods, at all? I don't even have SFCs or anything, just ET Street Radials and no front sway bar and I average 1.64 short times and have gone 1.61s quite a few times.

I have a full UMI Performace Tubular Rear-end in it, Torque Arm with a Tunnel Brace Mount/Adjustable Pinion Angle..
It was getting the power to the Tires, it's just alot of power hitting it at once, and traction was an issue..

I say that it said 10.15 and my jaw dropped until I saw that it was at the 1000 Ft mark. What does that equate to in the 1320? Also what tires are you using?

Probably somewhere around 6500. That's where I shift my 396 but the L92/L76 combo may rev like a whole different animal.

Merv you know my Buddy Chris who has the MS3, 6.0, stock heads, Blue Z28.
He revs his car near 6800. If I was you I would spin that motor over 7,000 RPM, big cam+badass heads= High RPM.

It's supposed to go to 7000..I plan on bringin it to 6500 and goin from there.
That equates to roughly high 11's in the 1/4..on half petal under powerband..
